Event security must be all-seeing, unobtrusive, effective, and at the same time, as discreet and respectful as possible. A high level of security is achieved through a set of measures that includes physical security, technical security tools, organizational and administrative actions.
Event security is classified as particularly complex, with each type of event having its own specifics and requiring a special approach to organizing security. To ensure the safety of such events, a systematic approach is needed, along with clear coordination of actions, vigilance, and readiness to protect guests and participants from inappropriate behavior, hooligans, and criminal actions.
Mass events typically gather large numbers of people (participants, guests, visitors), sometimes under the influence of alcohol, which increases the risk of emergencies. In cultural and sports events, there may be clashes between fans of various celebrities or athletes. An unorganized crowd is susceptible to panic or, conversely, aggressive behavior, which can lead to riots, injuries, property destruction, or damage. A large gathering of people acts as a magnet for both small and large criminals: thieves, offenders, extremists, etc. Even a minor incident at a large-scale event can have extremely negative consequences, massive public outcry, and negative media coverage. Therefore, proper organization of public event security is crucial for organizers, participants, and guests.
To ensure the security of a mass event, it is best to turn to professionals. Professional security can reduce the likelihood of sabotage, provocation, hooliganism, and other illegal activities that can disrupt the event and harm participants and guests. Experienced security personnel can quickly locate conflicts, avoid panic, isolate instigators, expel offenders from the event area, and hand them over to law enforcement authorities.
To determine effective security tactics, our company's specialists conduct a threat assessment of the event venue beforehand. When choosing security methods and measures, the following factors are considered: the event format; the location, size, and construction of the venue; the crime situation in the region; the timing of the event; the number of participants and guests; the accessibility of surrounding areas and parking; and the technical equipment of the venue.
In mass event security, our tasks are:
- Developing the event security concept.
- Coordinating the actions of security personnel with organizers and personal security for participants.
- Securing the event venue with technical security measures.
